I have always believed that it is not how much one has but what one makes of what one has is the route to happiness. I also believe that everyone has the right to be happy no matter what one's station in life is. Setting goals to go higher and higher in life is what most believe can give them happiness. . The essence of happiness has nothing to do with how rich one is but sometimes to see a flower bloom can give one as much happiness as one owning a 27 story mansion. You can have a look at the inside of that mansion Blessed is the one who can derive happiness in small things. What made you happy today. I was happy when I saw that kitten playing with its mother
Situated in Mumbai’s Altamount Road, Antilia is 4000-square-foot Xanadu.

That's true happiness does not depend on material things. I believe that happiness is a state of the mind. A person can choose to be happy or not. To be able to do that the person must learn how to appreciate simple, little things. That's the first step toward happiness.

I have happiness just by going for two walk every day. Doing things with my husband and the grand kids when they come.

We can be happy even in simple things. It does not mean you need first to have extravagant things to be really happy

If every one believed in it then we would not have had so many competing with each other

You do not need a mansion having 27 floors

Little things of our daily life make us happy. Picking up a basket of strawberries in the garden made me happy this morning.

@LadyDuck That visitor that came to see me and who talked about someone else's garden walked in grumbling about the heat. She pulled one of the sofas and she sat right under the fan. I never let visitors do that She is wealthy and lately she has spent on imported furniture Her house is loaded with lead crystal crockery and yet she is not happy.

@allknowing Some people can never be happy, no matter how many expensive and luxury things they can afford.

I always believe that contentment is the key to happiness. I was happy when I received a voice message on Telegram from my nephew's son this morning. Their family lives in Canada.

Ah, I aggree! I fortunately can be happy easily. Such as, I love lunch time, so I get happy when the clock shows us it's time to have a lunch (and a break if i'm in the office) I'm happy when I don't have to wait for public transportation for too long I'm happy when I get a chance to have a chit chat with others.
